UV-Tec Cream


Product introduction

UV-Tec Cream is a prescription medicine used in the treatment of hyperpigmentation. It helps in quick skin renewal. It provides relief from redness, swelling, and itching.

UV-Tec Cream is used to lighten the darkened skin due to excessive sun exposure or skin discolouration

Uses of UV-Tec Cream

Benefits of UV-Tec Cream

In Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation means abnormal darkening of skin, usually in patches. It occurs when an excess of melanin, the brown pigment that produces normal skin color, forms deposits in the skin. UV-Tec Cream reduces these melanin deposits, lightens skin tone and helps restore normal color of the skin. It also helps to protect the skin from damage by ultraviolet rays of the sun and prevents sunburns.

This improves your self-esteem and confidence as your appearance changes. You should always use it as prescribed and only apply the amount you have been told to. Keep using it for as long as it is prescribed to get the full benefits.

Side effects of UV-Tec Cream

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Common side effects of UV-Tec

  • Application site reactions (burning, irritation, itching and redness)

How to use UV-Tec Cream

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the cream. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.

How UV-Tec Cream works

UV-Tec Cream is a combination of three medications. Hydroquinone decreases the formation of melanin (pigment) in the skin. It lightens the dark patches of skin. Octinoxate works by absorbing UV rays, thus stopping or at least slowing down the destruction of healthy skin cells. It also decreases the risk of skin cancer and other skin reactions caused by sunburn. Oxybenzone absorbs ultraviolet radiation and prevents it from reaching the deeper layers of the skin.
